Euro 2008 Prediction Competition -- Knockout Phase

[Sir Og]

I change my prediction for tonight's game to 3:3 (I secretly hope that Russia will win it in regular time though)

[Pekka]

Last night's game was crazy! Turks almost did it again, but nooooo, Germany came back. Awesome finish

[Sir Og]

Now Russia has to score 3 more and I will be right on target

[Cort Haus]

Spain v Germany 2-1

[Locutus]

A very, very close race: with only the final left to be played, everyone in the top 6 can still win -- I'm not sure if we've ever had this close a finish

I need predictions from just about everyone, but you have until Sunday to make them (will post another reminder on Saturday or so).

Why did you not award me any points for this game?

[Solver]

Oh, and for a variety of mind-boggling, strange and otherwise complex reasons:

Germany - Spain 1:3

[Ecthy]

How cool is this? Now all I need for total victory is guessing the right tendency for the final, which should be hard enough, and none of the top 5 guess the exact outcome. All in all a rather unlikely, if not impossible set of events.

[Ecthy]

Yeah, just noticed the 4 points for Solver all still missing, so I actually have to out-guess him as well.

[Solver]

Outguessing me won't be hard I'm good at getting outcomes right, horrible at getting scores. But you predicted Portugal for champions, just like I did. Everyone who guessed Germany would be champion is already guaranteed to get 3 extra points and will get 10 if the Germans do actually win.

[Ecthy]

Oh no.

My top scorer guess was Klose, and it turns out to be Poldi or someone else, but not Klose.

Must get the right score. I think my guess will be in favour of Spain anyway. They make the better game.

[Solver]

Locutus and Cort Haus predicted German championship, so those two have +3 points now.

You may still get points for Klose if he scores two, that would make him a runner-up for the best scorer.

[snoopy369]

What if he scores eight?

Oh, and Germany 3 - Spain 1 just to make Locutus' job easier, in case he missed my earlier one.

Because you keep switching around the home and away teams, I can't be expected to keep correcting you every time

[Solver]

Home and away are a formality here
